A memorial garden in honour of the victims of Marc Dutroux, to be called Between Earth and Heaven , will be created in Marcinelle, near Charleroi, on the site of the child killer’s former house.
The house was adapted by Dutroux to create a hidden cell in the basement, whose door was disguised by a shelving unit. The hiding place, which was discovered after Dutroux was arrested on 13 August 1995, was the place where two kidnapped children, Julie Lejeune and Mélissa Russo, were imprisoned, sexually assaulted and where they eventually died.
Dutroux’s last two victims, Sabine Dardenne and Laeticia Delhez, were also kept at the house before being rescued, alive but traumatised, after a witness identified Dutroux’s van at the scene of Sabine’s kidnapping.
